3.6. Distance error cases
Error cases output BINARY
Detection below sensors minimum range 0X0000
Detection beyond sensors maximum range 0XFFFF
Invalid reading:
- out of range
- ambient light too high
- invalid reading
0x0001
Note that in some cases, the sensor might not distinguish properly between errors
i.e. if below minimum range but then a reading comes with very poor quality, the
error will change to “Invalid reading”
3.7. Sample Python script to read data
This sample code is a goodwill gesture to our customers. It is made to help our
